It's very important for the whole family to create vacation traditions, especially with the kids. We have been going San Francisco for the past few years, and there's always something new to do, buy and eat.

My daughter will love the third game on that list because she's also into gymnastics. She might learn lessons from the game.

I like these gift toy ideas. One in particular that stands out is the DC Comics action figures in which my son will love them. Can you do a similar write up for girls? I plan sorting these in toy stores.

Great thoughts you got there, believe I may possibly try just some of it throughout my daily life.

This sounds like an absolute blast! What I love about it, is that even non-alcohol drinking vegetarians can enjoy this because it offers so many diverse choices. It even offers options for kids. This is definitely a win-win!

Sounds like a little bit of heaven on earth to us northern folk. Our favorite summer activity this year was going to a Seattle Mariners baseball game. Not quite like the beach but still fun. Love the picture of Kylie of puppy. The beach just isn't as much fun without the dog...No bones about it!

Well...summer has flown by way too quickly for me. I'm more inland and don't readily get to enjoy the water, but would really like to fit in a day by the water (any body of water)...doing nothing, absolutley nothing, but listening to it lap against the shore...and of course enjoying a cold drink or two.

Sounds like a lot of fun! I think we've check...

Sounds like a lot of fun! I think we've checked most of the items you prescribe off of our list just this past week when we met extended family in the midwest for a vacation. We did the boat dragging a tube thing (fun!), went to a waterpark and did all those thrill rides, fished, BBQ'd, hiked, biked, beached. All good fun!

I too would like a tour on this island but I'm set too far away!! Our boat can only take us around Malta and Gozo and maybe to Sicily but not more further.
The more Kylie grows up, the prettier she's getting:)Cute puppy too:)

I would like a personal tour of this island in my boat!! hehe, u should always go boating with friends. cut puppy!! but not as cute as Kylee!!

WOW! Banning kids from planes! You've got to be kidding me! It sounds like some kind of socialist agenda that the Obama administration would endorse. I don't think that whoever proposed this absurd idea completely realizes the true ramifications of this idea. Not only would family travel come to a complete halt in a recession (which would have a huge impact on our economy),but what about the trillion other reasons. I guess children with cancer can only choose treatment options within driving distance and children that need to visit out of state family are just stuck. What a proposterous idea! It is so stupid that I cant believe the idea has even been proposed in the first place.

This all reminds me of Bill Cosby's Jeffery on the airplane. From Cosby Himself.
I was on a flight where a three year old cried and carried on for the two hours. Thank God it was a short flight. I felt sorry for the other passangers that paid more to sit in first class to have a child screaming the whole flight.
Most parents can occupy their child. I traveled with my three when they were young. NO problem. We took crayons, books and age appropiate things to play with during the flight.
As long as there are children there will always be the chance of a child crying on a flight. Just part of life. It shouldn't matter where they sit. It is their parents choice first class or coach. They should not be allowed to lay on the floor that is so unsafe. Sit where you may but they have to sit.

As a nurse, I can see both sides of the debate. I do feel compelled to mention though that meltdowns can happen at any age, not just 3 years and under. I have had to crawl under many a table, chair, etc. to get to a child not just under the age of 3. I have also seen those same kids throw fits in an airplane because of not getting what they want or for being overtired.
You can be miserable on any flight at anytime and it isn't always a child causing that misery :)

Denise, you raise some good points. Having a now 4 year old who when she was 2 refused to sit in her seat and was determined to sleep on the floor, I feel for parents when their kids have meltdowns! The age restriction is not a bad idea, but banning kids completetly from airplanes or first class is where I felt the reporter was going too far in his quest.

2009-06-02T15:02:12.442-04:00

I read his post and must say, this is an interesting conundrum. One of my worst flight moments was when MY 2 year old had a complete meltdown on a Maui to San Diego flight. Almost five nonstop hours of crying, screaming, wanting to run up and won the aisles. The fact that my toddler had this meltdown had no bearing on how he was raised or disciplined. He was simply overtired, which happens to the best of us when travelling.

That said, I think there is no way to 'predict' how a toddler, let's say children 3 and under, are really going to behave on a plane, be it first class or coach.

So here's my final comment, and I fully expect people to throw things at me. I think I agree about the no kids under 3 y.o. in first class. The dude writing the article tried to SEDATE his child, for God's sake, and that didn't work. Which means, you never can tell. And I appreciate the fact that first class has certain expectations: pampering, comfort, a more peaceful flight. People either pay way more for it or use their precious upgrade points for it.

Even though I have 3 kids, I've gotta agree--fly with kids in coach until they've reached the age where meltdowns don't happen anymore.

What a beautiful and interesting article Jen, my compliments. You managed to get me away and imagine myself relaxing under the sun for a few minutes! It sure makes me look forward for the summer.
